- Welcome to Omega for Macintosh
- =====
-
- "Omega for Macintosh" is a rogue-like multi-dungeon game which runs on
- Apple Macintosh series.
- This game is based on Omega version 0.75 and is implemented some more
- features in it.
-
- o Hardware/Software Requirement
-
- Macintosh series hardware
- (main window uses Black&White color)
- 2MB RAM for the application
- System 6.0.7 and later
-
- o Installing and Starting the Game
-
- Just put 'omega' file and 'OmegaLib' folder (with its includes) on your
- disk. They must be in the same folder.
-
- Double-click the 'omega' icon and start the game . You can also double-
- click a saved file's icon to continue the game (although the saved file
- will be deleted after loading).
-
- o TODO in the Game
-
- If you double-click the 'omega' icon, you will see the title screen
- and high score board. After that, you will be asked which way to select,
- "run a character" or "play yourself." If you choose [r] then the character
- is determined by random number (you can still re-roll them). If you choose
- [p] then you are asked some (/many?) questions to determine the character
- from your personality, and the result will be saved (by your choice) to
- the '.omegarc' file and it can be used for the new games afterwards.
- And note that the player's default name is set to the user-name of
- Network ID (but it can be changed by 'R' command).
-
- Between the play, you can use '?' command to display help messages on
- the screen. To read the outlines for this game, choose "a: Overview."
- To learn about commands, choose "l: Dungeon/City/Other Command List" or
- "m: Countryside Command List."
-
- o Release Note
-
- I ported the source from Omega version 0.75, and also ported curses
- library from PCcurses version 1.4.
-
- Omega is copyright (c) 1987,1988,1989 by Laurence Raphael Brothers
-
- PCcurses was made by Bjorn Larsson (900114).
-
- And I added some features by public demand:
- 1. '^p' command saves 20 messages (10 in the original)
- 2. Return key and Enter key can be used to exit "*** MORE ***" status.
- 3. Escape key can be used to exit the bank (Only 'X' command can do in the
- original).
- 4. Some messages and screen drawing are changed to fit the situation.
-
- o Thanks to:
-
- Laurence R. Brothers, Bjorn Larsson, Wataru Hirano, Yoshio Horiuchi,
- Katahira, Masanori Miyoshi, and all the beta-testers.
-
- Special Thanks to Mark G. Rodenkirch for posting this application
- to Internet on behalf of me.
